Chapter Eleven: Happy Moments Mixed With Bad



Twenty minutes remained in the class before she was able to go home, and she was anxious she wanted to vent and whine to Miroku. She was eighteen weeks along, and she still hadn't felt her babies kick, luckily she hadn't begun to get too much bigger, she was afraid she wasn't going to be able to fit into her seat in this class. Kikyo and Inuyasha had moved to Minnesota about six weeks ago and unfortunatley she nor her mother had heard from them since. She had became saddened to know that she would probably never have the same relationship with her sister ever again, but was feeling very overjoyed for the couple for they were expecting a child between the two of them. And when she had said that Inuyasha would never see his children, her children, she meant it. She really didn't want to strain the relationship between her and her sister anymore so than it already was by allowing Inuyasha to see the twins.


Her train of thought though was interrupted when she had felt a strong movement in her belly, and it was soon followed by another one and she was extremley excited. She was so excited that she quickly stood up and shouted out to the whole class. Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at her, she had her hands settled on her stomach with a bright smile spread across her face. Though her excitement was short lived, for Professor Totosai leared at her.


"Ms. Higurashi, would you care to explain to me and your classmates why you decided it was acceptable to shout out, disruppting their class time to do their assignments?"


"Oh, I apologize, it's just I felt my babies kick and it was quite thrilling..." She stopped talking quite quickly and sat back down with an embarrased smile on her face, but something told her that Totosai wasn't really upset with her. Though she dropped it and went back to the assignment at hand, but she kept smiling to herself.


At the end of class Kagome was surprised to learn that they wouldn't have any assignment due next class. She took a couple extra minutes to pack all her things up, waiting for everyone to leave the classroom because she wanted to apologize to Totosai in private for her outburst during class today. And once everyone had evacuated the room, except for her and Totosai, she approached him and opened her mouth to apologize but she was quickly cut off with his hand raised in front of her.


"Don't bother to apologize, I am married Kagome and I do have children of my own so I understand the excitement of the first kick. It was just quite surprising to hear you of all people get overly excited for something that most people would see as a very small detail."


"Oh I know, but this was something that I had been waiting for, and I had actually been expecting it a couple weeks ago when I was at sixteen weeks..."


Totosai nodded his head and smiled at her, but then he started to get a questioning face.


"How far along are you?"


"I am eighteen weeks, I'm having twins...that is why I look so big. And it was double exciting to feel kicks from two of them."


She began to giggle as she felt one of them kick again, smiling she thanked Totosai again for being so understanding and left the room. She was making her way towards the student parking lot to get into her car so that she could drive home and celebrate the first kicks with Miroku, when her cell phone went off and she pulled it out of her purse and saw that it was Rin. Smiling even more she flipped open the phone and excitingly screamed into the mic.


"They kicked today, they're kicking right now....they are so hyperactive!"


"Oh that's great Kagome, but I got some urgent news for you, I can't talk for very long because I have to go back to the hospital..."


"What's wrong Rin?"


"It's hard to explain but...Kikyo began bleeding really badly two nights ago and she went into the E.R. this morning and they told her that there wasn't much that they could do...she miscarried."


Kagome was shocked, she may have been mad at her sister lately but she was quite surprised and saddened to hear the news, especially since it was so tragic.


"Is she okay?"


"She's fine physically but emotionally she is drawn out, she can't stop crying and unfortunatley I have been cooped up in the hospital with her, comforting her. But hey I will call you back later and give you all the details, since I know she won't call you...she is actually even more angrier at you because she seems to think she can't carry her own husbands babies."


Kagome didn't say anything she just kind of shook her head and closed the phone, she looked down at her stomach which you could see quite well thanks to the new dress that she had bought last weekend, and smiled thankful that she was overall having a normal pregnancy. Her heart though went out to her sister and she climbed into her car, hoping nothing else bad came along before she got home.


Arriving home she was surprised to see that Miroku was not there yet, normally he was home before she was when she had Totosai's classes. It disappointed her because she wanted to talk to him about her baby news, and of course tell him about Kikyo's unfortunate fate with the baby. Entering the house though she soon was relieved to know that she would have something to take her mind off of her sister's situation in Minnesota because on the desk next to where she would always sit her purse was an envelope with her name on it. Opening it she began to read it out loud to herself:


W ow. That was all she could think to herself was wow. She had never had anything like this happen to her before, not even when Kouga proposed to her, and he didn't even do it for real. He just kind of pulled out the ring and said that they had been together for so long that it was only right for them to get married. Giggling though she looked down at the clock that sat on the desk and noticed that it said five o'clock already so she knew she had to get on the ball if she wanted to look great for Miroku.


So she put all her belongings on the desk and ran upstairs to take a shower.


----------------------------------------------------- --------


It was six thirty and she wasn't quite finished yet, she was putting the last touches on her hair that had grown quite a bit over the past weeks thanks to her prenatal vitamins, it now reached down to her hips, so she had managed to straighten it out a bit and put a hair tie in it, holding it to the side. She had decided to wear a black dress for the occasion, and it was not a maternity dress, but it still fit quite well, she had just bought it in a few sizes bigger. It was great though because the size of her belly pulled the extra fabric and made it fit just right in all the right places. Unfortunatley though she had to put the heels away, due to the fact that she couldn't carry herself very well in heels anymore, not with all the extra weight, but luckily she had managed to find some very fashionable flats in her closet, they were in the back and she had to do some unwanted bending over to find them, but she found them.


Finishing off her whole look by dabbing on some lip gloss she smacked her lips together and flicked off the light in the bathroom and headed downstairs to the living room where she would sit, watching t.v. waiting for Miroku to arrive. Though she didn't have to wait long because at exactly six fourty five, he showed up fifteen minutes early, explaining why he asked her to be finished by six thirty. He knocked on the door though, instead of just coming in. Which she thought in a way was cute and so she answered the door after shutting off the t.v. and the lights.


Miroku let out a whistle showing Kagome his satisfaction, but he wasn't the only one impressed Kagome was too. She looked at Miroku and he was very well dressed, he was wearing a tuxedo, not a prom tuxedo or anything but a formal one. He didn't enter the house just held out his hand for Kagome to take and locking the door before she walked outside she pulled the door shut behind her. All the while she was smiling, he definitley knew how to treat a lady.


"So Miroku what is the occasion?"


"Well if I recall, on this day at exactly nine a.m, twenty two years ago exactly, a one named Kagome Higurashi was born. Oh and wait, that would be you wouldn't it?"


She was very surprised, she almost forgot herself! She was so overwhelmed with the pregnancy that she had forgotten about her own birthday.


"Jesus, I forgot about my own birthday! I'm twenty two, it's so weird! Man, I'm getting old."


"Now, no using the word old tonight okay, because I too am a little sensitive, because if you would recall next Thursday I will be turning twenty nine. Now that is old, if you must know."


Kagome smiled, she didn't see it...he looked so young. He looked no older than twenty five, but she knew better he was going to be twenty nine years old on Thursday, but the one out of the whole bunch who should be feeling old is Inuyasha.


"Just be lucky you're not Inuyasha. He'll be thirty tomorrow remember?"


Miroku laughed, her forgot about that...


"You're right, we should really send him a gag gift...."


"That wouldn't be the best thing right now, I almost forgot to tell you, but Kikyo miscarried earlier this morning."


Miroku went quiet as he turned the corner in his Suzuki heading towards the restaurant that he had a reservation at specifically for her birthday and after dinner they would be going to the beach, for her private birthday present/surprise.


"That's horrible, but for now let's put that to the side and concentrate on the good things in life...because today is your birthday ok?"


"Okay." Kagome smiled and looked forward waiting to get a hint of where they were going to eat when she suddenly remembered, well she only remembered because the little ones gave her a good hard kick, seeming to say don't forget to tell him about us. But instead of telling him, she grabbed one of his hands off of the steering wheel and pressed it into her stomach feeling around until they kicked again, this time forcefully, both of them at the same time. Miroku laughed it was amazing.


"So they waited for your birthday to begin kicking around huh?"


Kagome only laughed and they rode the rest of the way speaking of what gender they thought the two of them could be, until they rounded the corner and Kagome saw where he was taking her. It was her favorite restaurant, but she hardly ever got to go there, Martinelli's.


"Oh Miroku!" Kagome screamed out to him and gave him a big smooch on the cheek before she got out of the car when he parked.

---------------------------------------------------------- -------------

Two Hours Later



Dinner had been wonderful and now the two of them were on the beach enjoying each other's company, it was just themselves for they had left their belongings in the car, such as Kagome's purse. They were walking barefoot down the beach hand in hand laughing at just nonsense. They acted as if they were the only people on earth, Kikyo, Inuyasha, Rin and everybody didn't exist. It was just the two of them.


Miroku saw something fly by out of the corner of his eye and immediatley figured it was a shooting star and so he turned Kagome to the side and pointed into the sky.



"It's a shooting star, make a wish, quick."


Kagome closed her eyes and wished, she wished that her baby's would continue to be healthy and the rest of her pregnancy would be normal. Opening her eyes she turned to Miroku who leaned in to give her a kiss and she responded by meeting him halfway. As their lips locked they couldn't imagine anyone else they would rather be with at that moment. Quickly though Miroku ended the kiss and held Kagome at arms length and looked her in the eyes.


"Kagome, I love you. And right now I feel so strongly for you, and honest to God I haven't felt this way towards anyone since Sango passed away and thanks to you I feel that I am able to love again freely. Sango wanted me to move on and no matter how many times I promised her that if something happend to her that I wouldn't mope around, when it really happend I couldn't help it. But thankfully you were there by my side through it all, helping me get back up everytime I fell down. And now I there isn't anything else I would rather do but be with you, when to tell you the truth their used to be times where all I wanted was to find a way to bring Sango back, but you have shown me that it is possible to move back on, but to never forget."


When he had finished speaking he reached into his pocket and fumbled around for a moment while he slowly lowered himself to one knee and Kagome's hands flew to her mouth as she began to cry. She was so overwhelmed and her heart was beginning to beat faster and faster with every second that went by. In his hand she could see a little black box and when he opened it there was a beautiful solitaire cut diamond on a silver band, it was even bigger than the one Kouga had bought for her. Miroku removed the ring from the box and grabbed her hand pulling it towards his face and kissed it.


"Will you, Kagome Higurashi, marry me Miroku Houshi?"


Tears were just pouring out of her eyes as she struggled to scream out yes but all she could do was shake her head rapidly signaling that she was saying yes, because for some reason she had a lump in her throat that wouldn't let her speak and when she could all that came out was a whimper of a yes. But that was enough for Miroku, because he quickly slid the ring onto her finger and stood up wrapping his arms around her waist.


"Thank you." He whispered into his mouth as he kissed her and promised himself that he would never let her go.

A/N: I know I just ruined some of your hopes, but when I first started writing this I was never going to let it be an Inuyasha and Kagome fic. I just couldn't bring myself to write one of those, maybe next time though!
